in all the hostory of the world its quite possible that the english have killed more people than any other nation.

Anwyay, gun laws in america are lax due to the constitution. Somewhere it says it is every americans "right to bear arms" now remember htis was written quite a long time ago. Nowdays you do not need a rifle to protect yourself from indians or rampaging bears (well only if you live wayyy out in the country) Tighter controls never come into effect due to a number of powerful senate people being members of the NRA (national rifle assosiation). Hopefully the recent shooting will persuade them to give out stricted laws. But ive spoken to people whos parents keep a loaded handgun in a tin under the bed, and take it out when they go on long drives in case they are attacked. Anyway, all the panic in washington, if you look at the figures, your still more likley to die crossing the road than you are to be killed by a sniper.

Whoever is doing the shootings is obviously trained and has a high quality weapon and knows how to use it. Background checks should be done on people buying guns and certain gun types should be banned (ie 50 cals, guns used to "target shooting" which have an effective range against armour of about 3000 metres and an effective range against people of 8000 metres (by armour i mean light tanks etc)

The north Americans have some constitutional right to have firearms. The problem is while there are many "law abiding" citizens who legally own guns and keep them locked up (supposedly safe) there are loads of illegal firearms in america and it would be easier to get hold of one of these (used mostly in robberies and street crime).
So even if they made it harder to get hold of hand guns and outlawed them, it wouldn't stop the kind of person whom presumably illegaly has a sniper rifle.

beer or guns... which is harder to get, for me the guns would have been harder to get but the beer is also difficult to get hold of especially when certain shop staff refuse to believe that I am 21.
Americans legaly buying either: harder to get the guns
Americans illegaly buying either: both about same difficulty level but then thats about the same throughout the world with illegal goods.

what kind of hypocrosy is it when he attacks (verbally) one country for allegedly having 'weapons of mass destuction' when in his own country there are people who own guns who are stupid enought to shoot at unexploded bombs with their rifles! or try to use it as an alternative to a drill! i dont see how they stand any grounds on sudam if its practicly everyones right to own a weapon of mass destruction. you can kill twenty people with a sub-mashine gun, and about 8-9 people with a handgun before the police even arrive!

and have you seen the american mario sunshine adds? the americans must be stopped!

(P.S, i am not currently influenced or allied with any extremist right wing muslim group or taliban group. i have a very weak knowelege of the american gun despersal laws or anything to do with sudam hussaine.this is not a joke disclaimer.)
